Pairing a machine

To pair a machine, open a Remote Control chat in the tAI web app and get a pairing code from there, then run /pair <code> on the machine you actually want to control.

Once paired successfully, the connection is remembered on that machine: the next time tcode starts there, it reconnects to the same remote chat automatically, with no code needed a second time.

Pairing is per machine, not per project folder, so a machine stays paired regardless of which specific directory you happen to run tcode from afterward, whether that's the same project or a different one entirely.

The Remote Control chat used to generate the code is also where remote-triggered turns actually show up once pairing is complete; it is worth thinking of it less as a one-time setup screen and more as the ongoing home for that machine's remote sessions.

Nothing about local use of tCode on that machine changes once it is paired; typing directly into the terminal continues to work exactly as it did before, pairing only adds the additional path in, it does not replace the existing one.
